Ball? Ball?

Its been a little bit but Aiden has learned a few new words...Ball being the main one! Like I have said he goes running to the door if he hears it open...now accompanied with the word ball?  Always with a question and always ready to find one! His current favorite balls are tennis balls.  He can hold them easily, they bounce, and they roll fast down the driveway as mommny or daddy try to chase them (he is just laughing the whole way).

Like I have said before he is just such a personality and is becoming more so everyday! He loves to do things to make you laugh and loves to imitate whatever you are doing (which Im sure could get us in trouble at some point), but if you clap or laugh he loves to do those back to you!

He had his 15 month appt a little bit ago and he is growing!  He is now 30 inches and 19.5 lbs. Pretty small but a huge jump for him.  He was in the bottom 2 percentile for his height and weight and now jumped up to about the 15th percentile.  We are very happy about those results!  He is still facing backwards in the carseat and will be until at least 18 months if not 2 years old. 

He had his first big person pool experience the other day and was a little nervous.  When he was swimming around with daddy he was good, but once he got out of the pool he was done and not interested in going back in!  We are ready for Uncle Blake or Aunt Brit to teach him how to swim soon!

Yesterday we went to Cumberland Caverns here in town.  It is a big national landmark and has over 32 miles of caves.   We took a tour of a small section of the cave.  Not sure what Aiden thought but Adam and I were pretty impressed!

 I will end this with the few new "tricks" Aiden has learned.  When you sing shake, shake, shake Aiden starts dancing and head bobbing (super cute!)  And he blows kisses (grandpa and grandma childs got to witness the first ones on skype last night)  he has a weird version before but now he really seems to know what he is doing!

So here is Aiden blowing a kiss to all of you!

Too long

It has been way too long since a posting...I do apologize! May found un incredibly busy as Adam wrapped up an amazing baseball season. They finished the season with 21 wins and advancing to sub-state for the first time in 20 years. So we were quite busy with lots of celebration! So far this summer we have kept aiden busy with lots of outdoor time and playing in the little pool we bought him...he spends his day walking around the inside of the pool, sitting on daddy's lap and tossing his mini water baseballs to daddy. He sure has found a new love in picking up a baseball and trying to throw...we did not push him into this at all! I am sure all the days at the ball field have helped! Aiden is now saying up and loves sitting on the couch or on our chairs on the front porch like a big boy :). He is still walking like crazy and trying a lot harder to run and move faster, ESP when he hears a door open! Aiden has now gotten one of his back molars and the other one is working hard at coming in! We took aiden to gaitlinburg for the first time this past weekend. He got completely spoiled, no set bed time and lots of running around! :). We took him to his very first aquarium visit. He loved looking at the big sharks they had ( quite an exhibit!). He was a great stroller rider while Adam and I got tons of walking in! Aiden also "played" his first game of putt putt, with a putter his size and all, grandpa child's would be so proud! Again I think Adam and I had more fun with that then he did! I think that catches people up a little bit since the last month! Pictures to come from our trip!
